MYTH: âItâs awkward to talk to strangers.â
REALITY:
Yes. But only for 6 minutes. Then someone makes a dirty joke, or compliments your scent, or you both order the same overpriced sauvignon blanc.
If youâre not nervous, are you even vibing?
MYTH: âGuys must make the first move.â
REALITY:
Thatâs cute.
But this is South Ah. Women here have full-time jobs, side hustles, and 12-step skincare routines. If you think weâre also waiting around for YOU to speak first... please respect yourself.
Ladies, shoot your shot.
Gents, donât miss the pass.
MYTH: âSingles events are for desperate people.â
REALITY:
Desperate? Babe.
We had to apply leave, book lashes, shave legs, and find parking in town. Thatâs not desperation. Thatâs admin.
You know whatâs desperate? Texting âwyd?â at 11:49pm on a Wednesday.
MYTH: âYouâll meet someone at the club.â
REALITY:
Lol. You mean that guy in the white linen shirt who smells like rage and cologne from Checkers?
Heâs not looking for love. Heâs looking for a place to crash and maybe a charger.
The club gives you WhatsApp calls at midnight.
Wiink gives you chemistry with a drink.
MYTH: âReal love isnât planned.â
REALITY:
Okay but⌠neither is loadshedding.
And yet, here we are. Planning. Strategising. Lighting candles. Charging our ring lights.
You can absolutely plan to show up looking hot and open to being admired.
MYTH: âDating is dead.â
REALITY:
Dating isnât dead, babe. Effort is.
But Wiink is CPR for your love life. A shock to the system. Literally. You might meet someone who wears deodorant and understands boundaries.
Itâs not dead. Itâs just offline.
MYTH: âIâm fine with dating apps.â
REALITY:
Cool. So howâs that going? You matched with someone who owns a ring light and three fish, and now youâre trauma-bonding over WhatsApp.
Wiink gives you real energy, real laughs, real people... in 3D.
This isnât a swipe. Itâs a spark.
You moved to Cape Town for âthe lifestyleâ
Now youâre scrolling Tinder in your gown wondering if people here even like hugs.
Fix it. Come outside. Be hot in public.
